Aside from the public comments on my videos, I have received e-mails and other solicitations regarding my YouTube project. Some are from students who want me to help with their homework. Others are from online learning sites that want to feature my videos.

Without giving too much away about why I am posting these videos (you can see my introductory video here), I'm going to lead into the poll question for the week.

What role should online learning play?

(a) Online learning should take over. Classrooms are for dinosaurs who use actual pencils.(b) In-class instruction is irreplaceable. Online learning is too passive to allow for real learning.(c) Some hybrid is optimal. Information transmission is most efficient through the Internet, but questions are better to answer in person.

As with all polls on this site, the poll is open for a week. Please vote early and often (on the sidebar). Tell your friends, your followers, your subscribers and your students to vote as well. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say.
